OLD vs NEW! Sailor Moon Stars vs Sailor Moon Cosmos! 

I think it just shows how good the writing is, that sailor moon, both versions, can appeal just as much to boys as it does to girls. Dispite the manga/crystal being written for girls, I a male, had a blast with it, and got just as much, if not more enjoyment out of it, then a series that’s “for boys”. Because it doesn’t matter what gender you are, or what the original audience is sappost to be. There is no limit, when it comes to good storytelling.

While I still prefer the 90's 'Sailor Stars,', 'Cosmos' *did* fix one very big problem I've always had with the manga, in that we actually get to see Usagi's family at the end. In the manga, we see Usagi saying goodbye to her mother who, with tears in her eyes as she holds Luna, Artemis, and Diana, says, "It feels like she's not coming home again." So she's obviously going to reunite with her family and the cats at the end of the manga, right? Nope, it goes right from Usagi saving the entire galaxy directly to her and Mamoru living in Crystal Tokyo and getting married. The. End. It always drove me crazy that we never see her family or the cats again, not even a mention of them, or got to see Usagi returning to her normal teenage life (sure it's somewhat implied, but implying and showing are two very different things). So when at the end of 'Cosmos' Usagi returns to modern-day Earth and her family and the cats are there to greet her warmly, welcoming her home, I cried buckets. It was so wonderful to have closure after all this time, especially since I didn't think they were going to address it at all considering I watched a clip of Mamo and Usa's wedding where, like in the manga, her family never shows up. It was a very nice surprise, and I give 'Cosmos' huge props for tying up that decades-old plot thread and giving those of us who wanted it some peace of mind.

FINALLY someone that actually likes Cosmos. I searched youtube for positive reviews and could barely find any. Most people dislike Cosmos which is insane to me. I agree with everything you said and while I love aspects of Stars like the secret identity reveals and the music, this is just better in every conceivable way. This was a GREAT video, exactly what I subscribed to you for.

Sailor Moon Cosmos is the Avengers Infinity War, Endgame Justice League Dark Apocalyps War at it best of epicness.

"Mamoru.......DON'T get me started" 😂😂 omg I died from that 💀

Cosmos is amazing. I sobbed when Sailor Moon told Chibi-Chibi to not lose her hope

I remember loving and being frustrated with the villains of the original, Like, "Why don't they take the easy/direct way to achieve their goals?". This totally explains why that did not happen. Thanks, Robyn!

Stars has its charms, and I still enjoy it. But damn, did I cry so hard watching Cosmos! Yeah, once or twice there was an unnecessary info dump, but damnit, it was so good! I already want to watch it again!

Despite agreeing with you 90-100% I still think the 90s anime was a lot more enjoyable to watch. What the 90s does much better than the manga was getting you to know the characters, even the villains (Aluminum Siren is actually my favorite character). Even if the premise is silly, it's what made Stars among my favorite season of the original anime. I appreciate the manga for being much more epic and expanding the world behind Sailor Guardians.

Speaking about Stars, they DID find a way to air it in Italy, although with a surprising censorship: instead of transforming, the Three Lights are replaced by their twin sisters. Ironically that almost got Stars banned.

I do think cosmos is objectiveilly better, but the 90s version is very cozy to me.

I can hear Bill Cipher saying to Galaxia ( Cosmo version) "Ha Ha I like this girl!!"

One thing that I hated about the original Sailor Stars anime is the decision making that Usagi makes. She is making choices that do not seem different to how she behaved in the beginning of season 1. At the end of Season 1, Usagi was willing to face and kill Beryl for her involvement in destruction of the Moon Kingdom and murdering her friends, so why does Galaxia get grace instead? Galaxia massacred millions all over the galaxy, and could have easily defeated Usagi if it weren’t for the plot. Usagi’s compassion is something that is amazing about the character, but the fact that she faces off Galaxia without a plan and risks the lives of the entire galaxy is absurd to me… and I feel as though the ending isn’t rewarded. While Usagi’s compassion saved the day in the manga / Cosmos, she was willing to FIGHT to save her friends because she knew that if she didn’t, she would be killed.

I already know who the winner is, but I just want to watch so I. can FINALLY understand why Robyn hates the 90's Sailor Stars series since its one of my favorites

I love both versions of this series but cosmos was peak

to be fair, when galaxia attacked the plane she found quite a few star seeds there somehow, Mamoru isn't an official sailor guardian and yet had a star seed of value so maybe that's where the orders came from. Had mamoru's guardians survived they too could have had highly valued star seeds, and the dark moon clan could also have had star seeds, which would have made an interesting plot in the 90's version since the specter sisters survived and could have been made into evil scouts

Just an obligatory, ad-nauseum reminder that takeuchi wanted to make a female kamen rider, but the studio told her to completely rework it into super sentai for the explicit purpose of selling more merch off of her IP, and even after making the changes they screwed her over the way they screwed over tsuyoshi kida and shinji oishi midway through kamen rider hibiki (also to boost toy sales)

Yeah I do love 90s, has special place in my heart with music, characters (some gave me a FREAKING headache but still great), and the own story (some parts even with filler made NO sense but its a good classic DESPITE NOT being the original actual story) but I pick Cosmos for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS like I did Eternal. I especially loved when watched in Japanse VA did Sailor Moon Silver Moon Crystal Power, Therapy KISS against her puppet friends u can HEARD THE ACTRESS CRY during it. Its too moving and felt true.

Your passion for Sailor Moon really shone through in these videos. Nice work! One thing I'm wondering though: in the future, Usagi simply forgot what she went through and why she chose to let the universe continue? So she came back through time to roughly when she remembered making the choice to figure it out again?

It is cool to see the Eternal forms. Then again, the cel anime would have to make the matching color sleeves opaque when they have to exist. They could have used a different shading to not have to mix the colors from the skin. Still my favorite designs because of the more signature colors, although I prefer the short gloves and shoes being used.

I love the fact that they use the original two openings for both parts of this arc ❤

Sailor Moon's war arc is a tearful rollercoaster of PEAK

I really hope that one day we somehow get more information about Sailor Cosmos and Sailor Chaos. And we should definitely get a modern Sailor Moon game like Dragon Ball Kakarot 😢

So glad to hear you loved Crystal too. Now I would love for you to compare the live action with the 90's anime and Crystal since you brought up how the 90's anime is very much like a tokusatsu superhero series, and the live action was intentionally made that way based on a new version of the Dark Kingdom arc Takechi wrote.

I loved both versions and I still do but cosmos is what I've been waiting for decades. and I'm happy this finally happened

Yeah. we were very close in not getting it. If wasn't for the series composer for Happiness Charge, Narita Yoshimi. Narita Yoshimi was a huge Sailor moon fan, she work on Pretty Cure but she saw season 1 and 2 sailor moon remake. She was super upset by how they did adapted it and Toei was close to canceling it. However that when she decided to step in, took over the reins. As big sailor moon fan she wanted to see complete but properly. She was able to convince Toei to her help out with season 3. So Toei let her, she dedicated herself on bringing Naoko Takeuchi vision alive with season 3. If wasn’t for Narita Yoshimi helping out for season 3, there would no Eternal movie or Cosmos movie. Toei was very close in canning it, but Narita Yoshimi came in and save it from being canned. (I heard about it somewhere. So take with a grain of sailor. Though very interesting she didn’t work on pretty cure season during the year which was Mahou Tsukai Pretty cure the same year as sailor moon season 3 was released)

Sailor Moon's final arc reminds me a lot of Fate Stay Night. Galaxia's design looks like something that could've inspired Gilgamesh and Sailor Cosmos' backstory sounds whole lot like Archer's. Though these might be just overall similar ideas, dunno how much Fate was inspired by Sailor Moon overall. One of its spin offs definitely was though.

Everybody will always remember about the 90s "Sailor Moon", but everyone loves the new remake because the design has more modern anime, same with "Fruits Basket".

I loved Cosmos! I was so happy to see all the cut characters finally animated. I literally cried when I saw the beautiful Sailor Cosmos, oh, so gorgeous. Was it perfect? Of course not, cause nothing is. Could've been better? Probable. Was it amazing? Hell yeah! I just wish Naoko would expand her universe(in manga/animation/live action). But I guess she really cares for it and wouldn't like anyone else doing it, nor is interested in doing it herself. A shame. Forever I'll crave for more Sailor Moon. More planets, other Sailors, other moments in time, etc.

I think a lot of people are gonna disagree with us, but I agree with everything you said. In Stars, the incompetent villains lowered the stakes, and everything about Chibi-Chibi is totally different, all in the best ways. It's kinda weird that people don't know it's based on the Manga. I've told so many people that... but nothing really happened in Stars, and hardly any Saturn. The scene where she takes on Galaxia was amazing! I loved that. Plus I like the character of Galaxia much more, in the Anime I could decide if she was lazy or stupid

I seriously ignore the original anime now because a lot of it's fans have ticked me off, mostly because of their disrespect towards Takeuchis work. "We love Sailor Moon!" Takeuchi "Oh thank you! I'm so glad you love" "Oh no we don't love YOUR Sailor Moon. We love the 90s show that changed everything and disrespected your work. Besides that you're art sucks and you can't write either " That's how so many of them act so I'm done. I prefer crystal and the manga.

I just hate how weak the 90s anime made Usagi. Like she’s supposed to be on par with Galaxia. STRONGER, in fact. But the 90’s anime had her get beaten to a pulp, torn to shreds, and had Usagi cry her way to saving the day. Cosmos (being faithful to the manga) hand Usagi hunt down and seek out Galaxia, knowing this time, without the support of her friends, she had to do it on her own. And she doesn’t back down for a second. She’s trading blows with her enemies and has Galaxia on the run. THIS is the Usagi I want to see, not Crysagi the anime gave us. And I get it, Usagi is a sensitive person and at that point she lost A LOT, but I liked seeing Manga Usagi rise above her pain to defeat her greatest enemy, willing to fight even though she hates to do so. I get the whole ‘we don’t have to fight’ trope, but sometimes, we DO have to fight, and Cosmos/Manga Usagi proved that. TL:DR Cosmos/Manga Usagi reigns supreme.

Ugh, missed the premiere again! Oh well. At least I get to see your avatar in the Eternal suit! So let's see what you've got to say. *(One viewing later)* Gonna be honest, I have to fully understand Naoko Takeuchi. Making a series by a girl for girls is _hard_ especially in a male dominant occupation. So I can understand your beef with Sailor Moon Stars.

I love Sailor Moon Crystalverse of the MCU style.

I absolutely love the new voice dubbing over the characters. It's hilarious. You may have had to sacrifice because of RU-vid copyright bots, but my god, this is funny and enjoyable. Thank you, Robin. Thank you. I needed another laugh today.

In Italy they "solved" the Starlights change of gender by saying "no they're not turning into girls they're switching places with their twin sisters"...

The way I said “da yo!” After hearing the girls saying “o-shi-ma-i” without skipping a beat. ❤ Sailor moon will forever be a part of my memories, childhood, and being.

I'm a guy That grew up on sailing moon. I did not know. There was a fifth season until like 3, maybe 4 years ago. And now I might be watching it again

Cosmos is better but it needed room to breathe. We spent five seconds on Phobos and Deimos and on the cats when those lore elements could've taken at least half an episode. And this poor school system with all these temporary students who they don't even remember.

Ironically especially the 90's decade Sailor Moon one , i remember the Star Arc most compared to the three prequel arc of the series

The impact of Usagi being in a state of shock and denial is kind of undermined by the fact she has spent the 25% of the runtime of the entire Crystal series sobbing, whining and idling paralyzed while her friends were being killed or kidnapped. The worst part of Stars is literally Sailor Moon behaving more like her manga counterpart

To be honest I grew up on the 90s Original Series and it's still a beloved classic to this day. I'm completely a huge fan of the lovely reboot Sailor Moon: Crystal even more for its dark faithful tone of the manga not afraid to bring back those controversy touching subject that the first series was scared to do back then...... FUN FACT: The series creator stated that the two movies Eternal and Cosmo considered Season 4 and 5 of Crystal with the two part films are like extended episodes.

It is Sailor Moon no matter what your opinion I haven’t seen crystals, so I’m automatically gonna love it anyway

"Writer's Tutorial Couples Chemistry 1990's Edition" makes me wonder when Anime America will cover Ranma 1/2.

I love your take on this 🥹 I feel so similarly. I thought the 90s Stars season was EASILY the worst one. Cosmos and the manga were fantastic by comparison.

I truly truly appreciate this take SO much. There are just too many 90’s purists with nostalgia goggles who refuse to see the problems with StarS and cry to the heavens how so much better it is to Cosmos. I’m a fan of Naoko’s vision and she basically said that Cosmos was her manga come to life. It was the true story of how she wanted to finalize the chapter for Sailor Moon and boy did Cosmos deliver. I cried so hard and felt such emotions. While I do agree there was some pacing issues with Cosmos (I still argue they should’ve gotten a full season like Infinity did) it was only primarily in the first part as they had a lot of ground to cover, whereas the second part was paced pretty well since it pays off the world building part 1 had the burden to carry. I really loved the Stars arc: it was my favorite arc as it was an amazing bookend to the Sailor Moon saga and had callbacks all the way to the Dark Kingdom arc. It has the gravity of it being the final chapter for Sailor Moon and the stakes could not be higher. And it had a villain that didn’t need sympathy: she was a megalomaniac that wanted all the power to herself, and her cabal of fanatics were just as entitled and self-grandiosing as the master they followed. The only two true Senshi that followed her were Lethe and Mnemosyne who fell into apathy from all the endless fighting. StarS was rife with problems, most of which you pointed out, especially with the SuperS conclusion tacked in the beginning. The Animates were dumb and repetitive of every filler villain and Uranus and Neptune were annoying especially when their betrayal amounted to absolutely nothing: it pissed me off because they were still the loner Senshi who put themselves above their fellow Senshi and Princess, which is exactly what the Animates did to betray their respective Senshi. Ugh. I don’t fall into the trap of nostalgia which blankets over the story problems, the animation quality (yes it’s not perfect as 90’s purists would have you believe when they condemn Crystal and its quality issues), and “character development” via filler episodes. I love StarS don’t get me wrong for I loved it for the hot mess that it is. But no. StarS was not good and Cosmos was far superior.

Come on, the episodes showing the Sailor scouts hanging out are important. It demonstrates snippets of character development and allow for some breathing room and shows why they're friends.

The one thing I appreciate about the episodic nature of the 90s anime is it allowed the villains to feel like proper characters. If you LIKE those characters is another question but their presences were definitely more pronounced. something sailor moons author fully admits is that she’s aware that she tended to discard characters a bit to quickly before realising she wished she’d kept them around a bit longer. And I FEEL that minor bad habit in cosmos. Like I was SHOCKED at just how quickly the fake guardians were killed off. It almost gave me a “that’s it? Where’s the rest of it?” Vibe😭 But I get if people prefer the brevity!

Roasting taikis forehead NEVER gets old 😂😂😂😂

I dont think people understand the point of fillers (not counting this season) in regards to vibes. Anime like Naruto over did it and created a terrible rap for it but the fillers in sailor moon is a part of what made it such a staple, those average filler episodes coincide with the average days of life and put that in a routine that aligns with you natural schedule like school or work and it becomes part pf your living experience perfectly in sync with the rhythm of your life and when things happen they feel even bigger because you was just living life with the scouts, just like in irl the events are paced irregular but when they happen its, historic, monumental or just special. And its not like other shows where filler doesnt contain developments cause at least their filler does or expands of the characters personalities. Its not empty filler and helps the world theyre being dramatic over feel more real and lived in so when their speeches at the end of every season start it doesnt feel overly dramatic and cheesy, cause they actually fully live in the world theyre protecting, are people outside of sailor scouts and u see it. However starlights filler is tough to get through

I've seen Sailor Moon Cosmos two parts films the other day on Netflix and while that I do like the up to date designs characters like the Sailor Starlights, Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon, Princess Kakyuu and the Shadow Galactica but I still don't like the ending of the second part film in fact I still prefer from the from the 90's Anime. I mean we never got to see the Sailor Starlights and Princess Kakyuu revive just like Sailor Moon and her friends at the end of the film plus it was never revealed if Artemis and Diana were revived just like Luna. I know the Japanese writer have worked so hard since this is the final Sailor Moon Crystal Series but they really haven't think things throught at all, I'm very sorry but this is my own honest opinion but I still prefer Sailor Moon Eternal two part films over Sailor Moon Cosmos two part films because at least there aren't too many characters killed un like this one.

Even if the series is made for girls, boys who happen to love the series can be a bonus to Naoko Takeuchi where even if she does not have boy fans, she will still have her girl fans. People just enjoy the characters, stories, worlds, and visuals.

I still think the 90s Sailor Moon was spot on in character depth and development, with a goofy sense of humour, in the original Japanese version. BTW, her name, Naoko, is pronounced NOW' ko, in case you haven't learned Japanese pronunciation. Informative yet egotistical presentation, but, oh well, it takes all kinds! Personally, I think SM Stars was better plotwise for us OG fans. 🌛🌝🌜👸🏻

You know what? Fine. I'll watch Cosmos. I'd been avoiding the reboot since I quit partway-through its first season (for all the reasons you'd expect - same-y voice acting, low quality animation, removal of filler + character-building, and my own blatant nostalgia for the original), but you make a REALLY strong case for this movie actually being quite good. All the footage looks beautiful, the story-beats seem to be satisfying, and I don't know how the VA is going to be but maybe I can just deal with that and enjoy the rest for what it is. Thank you for changing my mind. :) Btw. I decided not to spoil the plot for myself any further and stopped watching at ~27min in because holy cow that looked brutal and felt like a good place to stop. XD

We really need a worldwide DVD/Blu Ray release of Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Cosmos because having both being only on Netflix is extremely unfair. I guess there's always bootlegs...

Stars was better. Crystal, as well as Cosmos have better concepts but the execution just isn't done well. I literally just finished watching Cosmos and I gotta say...I was very underwhelmed. There are great ideas and the ending is a bit of a tear jerker but I highly prefer Galaxia from the original series. The inclusion of Chaos, as cool as it was, was just too much at that point. We barely spent time with any of the villains in these films. Stars executed this so much better. A better Galaxia and Nehelania.

I enjoyed Cosmos for what it is, but I prefer the 90s. Mainly just because I enjoy watching them all interact. I felt the same with Eternal. I understand it's a movie but everything went so quickly.

I LOVE Cosmos so much. I like the 90's for different reasons but Cosmos IMO is so much better. Sailor Moon KICKED BUTT in Cosmos. *chef's kiss* Also- Galaxia has a body count too high to imagine.

Subjectively I like the 90s for the fun fillers (which can be repetitive tbh) and how slower is the pace. However, the combat was awful and there were so many things that made no sense. The cosmos kinda fixed the issue, the combat is top tier and the plot follows a more logical approach. We get to learn more about the existent of other sailor senshi (which we didn't get in the 90s). However, we don't really see much of character growth due to the lack of filler. I love both the 90s and cosmos, I think they're both appealing for various audiences.

Yeah, there's no comparison. I love the original Stars, but honestly not so much for its own sake, but because its particular take on the story and mythology inspired me a lot creatively. While I disagree about Season 3, that is my personal favorite arc of the original anime, I can't disagree here. Stars was a rushed mess, with its main highlight being the amazing music. Cosmos clearly had time put into it and it works. ... although... how did it literally never occur to me that the planet Galaxia destroyed was her own...? For some reason I always thought she just... had no planet and was just hopping around planets to destroy them... I guess?

OMG! Can we please get a Sailor Moon spinoff where Hotaru and Setsuna watch episodes of Velma and get Robin to dub the voices?😂

I'm not a Manga reader, so I do still appreciate the 90s anime for what it gave. But, as someone who prefers subtitles to English Dub because of the risk of what writers intended possibly being lost in translation, I cannot deny that the modern Sailor Moon spelled the creator's vision far better than the 90s anime.

As much as the 90s anime will always be special. Its no longer possible for me to ignore its faults. Its not a series i can actually rewatch over and over again. Crystal on the other hand, i can rewatch the whole thing mulitple times and still enjoy it. As of now i will say thay i perfer crystal over the 90s anime. For me your opnions of the two shows are spot on.

I prefer Sailor Moon Cosmo because it got so dark but has a happy ending. It also explains sailor cosmos role was. Sailor moon stars was a lot of filters and bit confusing. I love the series, japanese voice actor actress as sailor cosmos was also played sailor mar in live action series. Yes no one like live-action series, I follow love story. Sailor moon crystal series was the best!! I cried because showing the justice and love of Arc. tribute song from 90s series just warm heart

Here is a small correction for you. Sailor Cosmos is not Sailor Moon. Naoko herself have stated that she do not know who Sailor Cosmos is, and she didnt plan on fleshing out the character either because she want her to be a mystery.

I wish Naoko Takeuchi to create a new manga and put Mamoru(Tuxedo Mask) as the main character and make the story dark, action packed harem and make his character cool like Batman

Sailor Moon cosmos was just a beautiful masterpiece dedicated to the fans I enjoyed and loved the movie

You brought up Sentai shows, and my rotted brain immediately started playing the Saban Sailor Moon demo.

As someone who’s been a fan of Sailor Moon for 2 years, I was so touched by the ending 😭 Me and my friends we all cried watching the wedding scene in Cosmos, Sailor Moon holds a special place in my heart as my first magical girl series and will forever be one of my favorites 🥹🫶🏻

The actress who played sailor Jupiter passed away and she didn't mention this!

The 90s Stars is special to me. I know it has very sloppy writing but the Nehellenia arc and the big finals really hit those emotional beats for me. Stars was perhaps more formulaic than prior seasons because after SuperS did it's own thing and lost not only ratings but also a lot of the core staff so it makes sense from a business standpoint. That being said, the music and the bookend arcs are just so lovely and I love them dearly. Also the music lives rent free in my head That being said, Cosmos is an easy 9/10 where Stars is a 6/10. The story, the animation, the entire second half of part 2, I ugly cried for at least 45 minutes after that film. One of the core things about Usagi is that she will never give up hope. She will always see the best in others and try to help them better themselves. 90s anime Usagi will do this at the sacrifice of her personal well being. Manga Usagi has boundaries and makes known consequences for disrespecting them. You see her grow and develop and become mature as the manga progresses. The 90s anime is shonen in mini skirts.

A big inconsistency in the 90s anime version of this arc is that the minions just go on a wild goose chase for the star seeds like the Witches 5 in season 3, but this time around we know that "true" star seeds are only owned by sailor guardians, so why are they wasting time attacking random civilians and then leave when the actual sailor guardians appear?

After watching this, I wanna watch more documentaries on rogue planets and people wanting to find a planet X (I'm still counting Pluto!). This was a rogue planet/guardian that was looking for somewhere to belong. Or a planet x that was too far away from the sailor scouts to even be noticed until she made herself be noticed. Take your pick.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long

This was BEAUTIFUL! 🥲

I'm not sure if anyone saw the interview with Cosmos' director, Tomoya Takahashi, a male who directed episode 12 of KILL la KILL, loved the 90s anime and its visuals, brought that flavor into the new version and made everything pure perfection. Also, it's a shame Kotono Mitsuishi officially retired as Usagi/Sailor Moon after Cosmos is finished because she wanted to portray the manga version of Usagi, just for old time's sake. In another interview, Sailor Cosmos' VA and PGSM actress, Keiko Kitagawa, said that she and Kotono are best friends, much like her PGSM castmates. Even Naoko was at the booth at the time of Keiko's recording, and Naoko was impressed. It feels like in Japan, we came full circle on the franchise as a whole, mixing the incarnations into one epic finale. It's also a shame that the official Sailor Moon site rarely recognizes the live action, and wouldn't bother to sell it worldwide, not even to Discotek, which would sell immensely for one of the best adapted seriesthat explodes with characterization and plots unimaginable, like Sailor Dark Mercury or Kuroki Mio as Beryl's seed...even if the series was just for one arc, it's worth it. Thanks again for the OLD v NEW video, guys.

Crystal fixed all the nasty changes that the 90's version made, but there were moments in the og anime where the characters were expanded more and you could get more attached to them. The way the Inners die in the 90's anime still hits you stronger than in the manga/movie because by that time you are more connected to them. The villains were also there to get defeated instantly, so the main issue with the overall reboot series is the pacing. Although pacing is also the problem of the og anime too..all the fillers didn't take the story anywhere and some villains suffered from it (Tellu, Viluy for example) others got fleshed out and became more interesting. So the perfect Sailor Moon experience would be to mash these two versions together. I'd keep the Inner senshi focused episodes from the 90's version to flesh out their characters in Crystal but we would still stick closer to the manga plotline.

I keep saying this. But whenever I hear Glaxia's dub voice. All I can here is Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Pros of Crystal, to me; The action is fun, the animation is pretty, the transformations too (Not in season 1 with ugly CGI) The music is good AND the romance between usagi and Mamoru is more developped 🥰 Cons; The villains are less interresting than before. There's no romance between the general and Usagi's friend; the others have no personality and are barely there. When they fight the girls, it's too quick. I can't get suck into the battle 😐 No fillers so no episodes who developped the girls or just for us to have a good moment. Their friendship is so rushed! Usagi met one of them, imediately become her friend at the end on an episode. It was better in the OG, things took time and we saw their bounds growing. Crystal is not bad, just need more focused on the friendship and villains especially in season 1. Same for in season 2 with the cat girl and her sisters (The sinisters witches i think it was their name)

I love both! I’m sad I didn’t see Seiya and Usagi relationship blossom like in Stars compared to Cosmos. It was a tease, one sided and just didn’t feel believable in Cosmos that Seiya likes Usagi. Also, can someone explain when Mina and Rei had almost a lesbian moment, was this the wrong impression? Like was this ever hinted? Oh and Galaxia’s voice actor in Stars to me fit better. Stars def had plot holes and Cosmos has some too. Also, IMO the English dub is just eh…everyone sounds almost identical, like same tone. Overall, nothing’s perfect but really enjoyed the ride of both. I cried like two-three times watching Cosmos.

I love the 90s version but the manga version eats down! This is why i go up for Usagi out of any anime that’s been created because she IS that girl!

I'm pretty sure 90's Sailor Galaxia knew who has a "Sailor Crystal", she was just playing and torturing the Sailor Animamates while making the lifes of our Sailor Senshi a miserable life. She always knew that in the end they wouldn't be a match against her and we all know she had a blast and a laugh taking each one of there Sailor Crystals (Star Seeds) and watching there hope dissappear.

One of my favorite moments in Sailor Moon is after Usagi defeats Beryl on the classic anime and give a super sincere speech about how the little things bring joy and how she wanted to be a normal girl. I am going to assume that this is only in the japanese version. The american dub probably put something generic in there.

Great video, I like both the Stars season and Cosmos. They're both my favorite out of their respective versions. I grew up with the 90s anime but I have no attachment to it therefore no nostalgia. It comes down to personal preference and I prefer Cosmos. I love the manga storyline the most. I do have my complaints here and there but Cosmos did a great job capturing the sadness, bittersweet, heartwarming and epic final arc. I wish they abapt the Codename Sailor V manga into a TV series but if not it's okay. I glad that SM is over, it's better to let good things die than keeping it alive to be dragged in the mud.

I'm sorry, but the voice overs are fucking epic! I am trying so hard not to laugh my ass off, and nearly failing.

This arc really shoud have been in tv show format. That way the pacing wouldn't feel so rushed. Since with this arc even the manga was rushed too so if they do it episode by episode, it will flesh out the story more. But sadly that didn't happen. At least the movie we got wasn't so bad (Actually the animation is even better than the eternal movie.)

Dude.... that's child abuse; Usagi is like.. still 14 right? 16? Still, a baby basically.

Crystal was okay, never got to see the original past sailor moon R though. So I have nothing to compare it to. But in all honesty, I do miss the episode of the weak formula a tiny bit, the comedic episodes of the original series were hilarious. I know it’s not a good thing to say but honestly, I think Crystal needed some filler episodes. 😅

I swear if they don't stop writing Mamoru to being a mind controlled puppet n is used to kiss the enemy to taunt Usagi, I'm gonna loss it. Its gross and unoriginal it's so frustrating whenever I see it. I don't even find him attractive or appealing but this is ridiculous

Studio be like : How many characters that you want to die in the Cosmos ?? Naoko Takeuchi be like : Yes

I think Cosmos is a better adaption but I think it would have benefited from another hour of run time. The difference of manga and animation is that you can sit with a page and notice the details and feel the emotion while animation has to force that time to be taken. The story feels rushed in the end to me, while I prefer key elements to Cosmos I don't feel anything in depth the way some episodes of Stars or previous 90s Moon makes me feel.

Why did the 90's Portray Uranus & Neptune into a Pair of B*÷>"*#?

One thing I tell people is that Crystal plus the movies is they should not be compared to the 90s anime. The only similarity they have is the characters them selves, and even they have been changed to fit certain stereotypes.

This Sailor Moon for Cosmos was a fighter, not a crying punk like the one from Sailor Stars.

Sailor Moon Cosmos Galaxia: I am Inevitable Sailor Moon: And I am Sailor Moon

In the 90's Toei Chibi x2 as a Replacememt fore Chibi Moon.

If anything I wish Sailor Stars went more crazy, more off the wall, they've had decades of filler material they could pull from for final season material, and by going crazy they could have made the dark sailors less idiotic and more of a threat, while also giving the trauma the manga gave so easily. Plus it mixes up the formula with the pure hearts, they'd get attacked pure heart taken, no talisman, defeat monster pure heart goes back. If they mixed it up you never know if we getting a Phage this week or seeing one of the side characters get revealed to have a viable star seed. We'll either get a monster of the week, a scout of the week, and get to build a rivalry or animosity between the scouts. There' Usagi's friend Naru, having her have a star seed if not for the Earth maybe the Sun or something else, having her be the target find a star seed get a transformation and a fight scene, then you can have Mouse Crow Siren whoever's in charge of the ep kill her and take the seed. This was Usagi's friend a future guardian, she could watch Naru get defeated and taken. The scouts won't know who has a star seed or how to find them before the enemy. Usagi's traumatized. Then there' Usagi's brother Shingo easily another viable target for a Sailor Star Seed if Sailor Mini Moon can happen Shingo's equally viable. For example they have those chosen by the 7 rainbow crystals, some of them had supernatural abilities, have them be star seed targets let Ami reunite with the guy she had chemistry with. As it turns out he does have a viable star seed, maybe not of a planet but maybe he's capable of becoming Sailor Sagittarius, he's the core star seed of the constellation. Mars also had a love interest he could be a target and be another constellation Sailor Leo. He fights and the two can have a moment before one of the dark sailor scouts captures his star seed. So it's not just usagi who's traumatized. Heck Jupiter's ex, the running gag of him being compared to every guy she gets a crush on its the final season have him show up and be a star seed target, even if he's not a viable sailor it'd still be a banger of a Jupiter episode. So there could be Mouse took out Ami's love interest, letting there be a show down between her and Mercury, then Mercury can use her new power up move against Mouse, she gets defeated or killed, Sailor moon could try to purify her only for Galacitca or Siren or Crow to kill her. Even if Mouse found viable star seeds during her run, it doesn't matter since she lost to one of Sailor Moon's guardians and weakness isn't tolerated blah blah. Since this is all filler anyway, if you make Shingo, Motoki, Yuichiro, the Specter sisters, any of them true sailor guardians either by constellation or whatever and you give them cool scout attacks, later in the arc you can have it that the dark scouts are using the star seeds of their friends to increase their own power so they are using the attacks. You make use of side characters, can still create drama and stakes, and even not waste the new powers you invented and have the enemy team use them against the scouts. There's also the specter sisters, powerful agents from the future who had been corrupted and purified, easy targets to have star seeds and theres are viable. They get powers again and try to help the scouts just like they wished to back in the dark moon clan days when Sapphire was in trouble. Heck for a Hotaru episode have her "dad" be a target even if his star seed isn't viable he'd turn into a dark sailor soldier and she'd have to stop him. You could have some people who've been made into senshi monsters what if they remember that feeling and want to keep it they got a taste of wanting to be sailor guardians and sailor moon can turn them into sailor guardians but Galactica can Plus like with what's said in the video yes Mouse does know Sailor Guardians have star seeds, however there's 5 of them and one of her, her best bet is to either catch them out of transformation or fight them one on one, which she can try to do or while the scouts are dealing with her monster she tries to snipe them only for the starlights to get in her way and which there's 3 of them one of her, it's a problem. Siren actually did try to figure out who the scouts were at one point and found out usagi was sailor moon and crow used that later, they only bound by the plot.

And when will the studio make the Codename sailor V series? They shoudlve done that first

Not me tearing up again cuz to me Cosmos was everything♡♡♡
